With the boys being gone and Lizze feeling better, we're going to make it a date night tonight. We never really go anywhere but that doesn't mean we can't have a nice relaxing evening, with some pizza and Netflix.  It's so important that as parents, we take care of ourselves first, our partner/spouse second and the focus on the kids.   That may seem counter intuitive but it really isn't.  We have to take care of ourselves before we can take care of anyone else. When you are married or in a relationship, you can be better parents when you take the time to strengthen your relationship.  Our date night are simple but meaningful to us.   I'd love to hear about what you do to take care of yourself... 

When the boys go to their grandparents, this is what ends up happening in our #Autism house. If/when you get a break, what do you do?

This is why I never take the breaks we get for granted..
